Blake tightened his hold, forcing Rose to maintain eye contact. "Fight it, Rose! Come back to me!" He poured more of his will into the command, trying to reach Rose's true consciousness.
"SUFFER!" the voice howled back, as Rose's skin began to blister and crack from the intense heat she was generating. Her eyes, though locked with Blake's, swirled with darkness fighting against his influence.
The struggle continued, Blake's mental commands clashing against the entity's vicious resistance. The air around them shimmered with heat and psychic energy, the ground beneath their feet cracking from the intensity of their battle of wills.
"Remember who you are, Rose! Remember us!" Blake shouted, his voice breaking with emotion and strain as he pushed his mind control ability to its limits.
For a moment, Rose's eyes cleared, a flicker of recognition passing through them. But then the darkness surged back, stronger than ever.
